I think "finally coming out" is a fair thing to say. We are just getting RE 0, and have a few other big name games like MP launching soon.

Super Monkey Ball, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin, Resident Evil, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Time Splitters 2, Star Wars: Rogue Leader, Beach Spikers, Mario Party 4, Resident Evil 0.
I had Sega Soccer Slam and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, but my friends didn't like to play them, so I got rid of them.

And to answer the question, YES! Simply because Nintendo Australia have promised to ADVERTISE a game
Yes, you heard right, Metroid Prime will be heavily advertised everywhere and anywhere possible, and i assume Wind Waker will too. As soon as the Australian public become aware that Gamecube actually exists, im sure console sales will times by at least 10. But there is something thats worrying me, i think Nintendo might go overboard with the Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire and GBA SP advertising and we might not see much Metroid ads. But time will tell, i really hope Nintendo Australia gets it act together, im sick of being laughed at for owning a "Lamecube" or a "G@ycube". But hey, i just shove the Resident Evil box in thier face and that usually shuts them up

The bonus disc in Australia has been confirmed. It will be a pack-in, meaning it will be inside the same box as the Wind Waker.

but yesh yesh, not long to go till metroid prime folks, not long at all (ha ha ntsc people we get a better one

If he meant over 100 pre-orders nationwide, then that's a bit of a start.
So, the Zelda bonus discs come packed-in? HELL YEAH!
At least we finally got something better than the Japanese, and their plastic sleeve for the bonus discs. A pack in would be excellent!And Zelda and Metroid had BETTER pull up sales of Gamecube here in Oz, or else there is no hope. If Metroid and Zelda couldn't do it, no one can.
And Nintendo had BETTER advertise these games.

Oh well, it's okay Australia...Zelda's already a million seller without your help....and so is Metroid by now.
Of course that's adding up worldwide sales.

I've yet to see any advertising, they should advertise their free game with GCN!
Post by: mrcivic on March 19, 2003, 12:10:30 AM
I guess it could follow the same pattern as all other high-profile GCN games - hit the top 5, or even #1, but the following week it'll drop to around 8th, and the week after that it won't be in the top 10 at all.
Obviously we'll have to wait and see how Nintendo promotes and advertises the game.

I don't remember if i saw any Zelda commercials....but i could be wrong.

You couldn't go anywhere or watch a tv break without seeing a N64 ad.
Michael Klim was on all the time promoting 1080 snowboarding, the Banjo-Kazooie ads were ingenious, and the Ocarina of Time ads were epic and gorgeous - no real life girl doing a voice- over, just chock full of game footage. It was all good back then. No complaints from me at all. Until the infamous drought. The last N64 game i recall being advertised was Perfect Dark, and that was pretty late, around 12am, oh wait, no, Conker's bad fur day. There we go.
